Even these threads are dying. Where is the wow PS4 is still doing great considering it's age, Switch is killing it, Xbox is doomed crowds? This is going to be a long year and half wait for the next gen.

...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Currently Playing:

Super Mario Maker 2 will come out with the next update and it already led to a near 30k increase for the Switch in Japan. I can only imagine what it has managed to do in the West. The Switch should be somewhere within the 250-300k range and easily outsell the PS4 and Xbox One combined next week. Meanwhile, the PS4 continues to show its age and the Xbox One... Press F to pay respect.

I admit, with such a long stretch without any big games, I thought they'd be a couple weeks in May and June where Switch lost the top spot.

Now Mario Maker's here, and with the stacked lineup for the rest of the year, PS4 will need a price cut to score any weeks at #1.

Why would switch lose the top spot when the other consoles also aren't getting any big game releases.

I think it's fair to say that there s no way (as it should be expected) that in its 6th year the PS4 should be outselling the switch at $299. Yes, it needs a price drop. That it's even still keeping the gap respectable is an achievement.

And why is everyone forgetting that the PS4/XB1 are currently almost years old? If you guys really want to compare sales... compare them to those consoles 3rd years on the market.

Because PS4 gets big games more regularly than Switch does, basically. Between Smash and Mario Maker 2, a gap of nearly 7 month, Switch had no system-selling games. Hence I thought it'd momentum would suffer more than it has.

Bet with Liquidlaser: I say PS5 and Xbox Series X will sell more than 56 million combined by the end of 2023.
